FREEDOM: Romanticizing revolution

He who would have everything without freedom has nothing.

Those who would have no Senate, would have pure democracy; mob rule. The coastal blue states would decide the outcomes of everything. (The will of the majority) that is not freedom, but oppression. Those who would have no prisons, and no police, would have unfettered crime. Americans would be bound to huddling in our home for safety. Those who would have equity policies, erode self-respect, personal responsibility, and the merit-based system, essential for societal progress. In Mikhail Bakunin: Stateless Socialism, he says, “Justice to be found in the consciousness of every man is explained in one word,” equity. Those who would have open borders replace the power of empathy for voting powers.

Socialistic/communistic adherents have several things in common; they hate our constitutional republic and the God who inspired it. “The Pew Research Forum’s Religious Landscape found that 47 percent of those who say religion is “very important” to them call themselves conservative, while 47 percent of those who find religion “not at all important” identify as liberal.”

Our Constitution says, “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” Governments are therefore not the source of these rights; their role is to protect and secure them.

John Adams, famously stated, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other” in 1798.

Huxley wrote that he and “most of [his] contemporaries” saw atheism’s moral vacuum as their “instrument of liberation,”

History warns, romanticizing revolution has dire consequences.
